IMPROVEMENT IN FASTENINGS FOR SATCHELS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 122,840, dated January 16, 1872; antedated December 23, 1871.

SPECIFICATION.

I, PHILIP P. LYNCH, of the city of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New J ersey, have invented an Improvement in the Construction of Fastenings for Satchels or Traveling-Bags, technically termed the Olive, and

sometimes a Catch, of which the following is a specification My improvement consists in constructing the olive or catch of two or more blanks, one having on it pins at its edge, formed as an integral part thereof, by which the olive is attached to the satchel in such a manner as to hide them and their holes from sight by the projecting edge of the outer blank.

In the accompanying drawing, Ais a full-size flat blank of thin metal, so shaped that when pins or points are left projecting from the edge, those pins or points on being set at right angles with the blank form the common means of dispensing with rivets in attaching blanks to leather. B is a perspective view of the same with its points turned up. 0 is the faceblank prepared to receive the insertion and connection of B. D shows the two blanks connected together by having the edges of the face-blank turned over between the pins on the blank B. In the middle is the aperture for the stud or button. E is a plain blank of thin metal. F is the same as B without the aperture. G is an outer face-blank attached to F, with E laid in the inside, the two blanks F .and E being held together by a turn button or Attest: PHILIP P. LYNCH.
